They are the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant.

Just as we are typically right- or left-handed, elephants are usually right- or left-tusked. the dominant rusk is called the master task and is usually more worn down (shorter with a more rounded tip).

Congratulations to Junji Takasago (Japan), our winner of the Natural Artistry category.

Our final category of the night is the Portfolio Award winner of #WPY58, France's Laurent Ballesta!

From an icescape streaked by colourful algae to a giant sea spider, Laurent endured below-freezing dives to reveal the diversity of life beneath Antarctica’s ice.

Each butterfly or moth has thousands of finely tuned smell and taste receptor scales, bristles and pits. These are located on its feet, on its palps (moustache- like mouthparts) and on its antennae.

Great advice for helping the planet!

When we lose food (through food wastage), we waste water, land and energy.

Here are 3⃣ ways to reduce food waste 🍽️:

✅ Create a shelf in your fridge for 'Eat Me First' foods.
✅ Make rice, couscous, and pasta portions.

Here's how elephants should be seen:
Not in chains
Not carrying tourists
Not being a selfie prop
Not the target of a shot

The bottom jaw was of a walrus! Walruses have the strongest mouth suction of all animals enabling them to suck shellfish clean out their shells. #guess #skull

[Save The Asian Elephants @stae_elephants]

Asian elephants are the continent's largest terrestrial mammals. They can reach 6.4m in length and 3m at shoulder height, and 5 tonnes in weight. They are smaller than African elephants and have proportionally smaller ears, which they keep in constant motion to cool themselves.

The annual migration in East Africa is a challenge to photograph in a manner that does justice to its enormity, but in this image, there is a semblance of order to what is normally the most chaotic scene imaginable.
